Australian Turf Club are offering Free Entry to the public this Saturday for the 9 race card at Warwick Farm.
Warwick Farm Racecourse Manager Mark Jones has rated the course proper a Soft 6 and anticipates that it will stay that way.
Mark Jones said “The mornings have been cold and frosty this week but the conditions will remain sunny for the rest of the week and over the weekend which is great news. I am looking forward to Saturday and hoping the local community come out and support this meeting”.
See the video link here at ATCTV for Mark’s track report from this morning and his expectations for Saturday’s meeting.
It is also a chance for racegoers to see the $140 Million Inglis Riverside Stables development, which is due for completion late in 2017.

Mark Jones Said “The world class Riverside Stables construction is taking shape and going well and will be a welcome addition to Warwick Farm”.
The Sydney Jockey Premiership heats up in a race to the title between Brenton Avdulla and Hugh Bowman.
With 7 meetings to go, Avdulla currently sits 3.5 wins clear from Bowman, after Bowman rode a treble at Canterbury on Wednesday to close the gap. Both Jockeys are booked for 6 rides this Saturday.
Bowman could draw closer being booked for three favourites across the day. The Chris Waller trained Cosmic Engine in #theRaces Hcp ($3.50 TAB Fixed Odds), Peter and Paul Snowden runner Spending To Win in the McGrath Estate Agents Hcp ($5 TAB Fixed Odds) and in the TAB.com.au Hcp he rides Waller’s Liapari ($3.50 TAB Fixed Odds).
In the opening race, TAB Rewards Hcp, Gary Portelli’s consistent filly Lipizzan heads the weights coming off a last start win at Royal Randwick. The Sebring filly sits in the second line of betting ($6 TAB Fixed Odds) behind Awesome Pluck ($3.50 TAB Fixed Odds) who won his only start at Taree by 5.5 Lengths. The Port Macquarie galloper from Jenny Graham’s yard has since won a trial at Warwick Farm by 2.8 Lengths on 30 June.
